Mid-week roundup: Hottest and coldest coins through 5/9
.png)
After quite a bit of uncertainty over the last few days, sentiment on the Alt market has started to rise again.
There's nothing screaming #Altseason at this point, but generally, the longer that $BTC channels sideways, the looser the purse strings get on the Alt market.
There are primarily two ways I've seen the 40 influencers and traders I follow for this analysis size up the market. The bullish scenario is that the Alts have all cooled off from their near month-long run and are gearing up to rip once again. The more bearish scenario is that we're on the precipice of further $BTC breakdown that will drag the market down with it.
That said, a number of coins are out to a strong start this week with abundant positive sentiment from influencers despite a pretty bearish week overall. Many aren't, but I only highlighted the worst of the bunch in the chart below. You can always find the full data sheet at the bottom of my posts
Here's what's cookin' and what ain't:

The Influencers
Who am I?
I'm an investigative data journalist during the day, and I've been looking for a way to cut through the noise and get a true sense of what some of the biggest crypto influencers are pushing toward and pulling away from.
Using a pseudonym here because I can't post about this shit on my verified accounts. I've become mildly obsessed with crypto and its constant stream of data and needed an outlet. So here I am.
What is this?
Each week, I scrape the Twitter accounts of some of the crypto world's favorite influencers, traders and TA folk. I run a basic sentiment analysis to see which coins they are mentioning positively, in a neutral way and which they are mentioning in a negative light.
I calculate "power" simply by subtracting negative mentions from positive ones to give an aggregate score. The higher the score, the better, the lower the worse. For the daily rankings, I also create aggregate scores for the majors and the Alt markets. The Alts get a 10 point deduction any time the majors go below zero, since overall the Alt-market has a tough time staying above water when BTC is in a spiral.
This isn't financial advice, just my own way of trying to make sense of what's out there. And as with most things, the more data I collect, hopefully, the more interesting it'll be. This is a work in progress. Please leave suggestions on how to make it better. I imagine if I keep up with it, I'll be able to expand a bunch of the analysis, but I wanted to start somewhere.
Very cool! What did you use for this?
